i think uoti has successfully thrown the project into chaos allthough
i dont think he did that intentional ...

now about trust, i can only speak for myself, but any of the 3 members
of the root team could have closed uotis account as the vote required
you are the only of the 3 who bent the vote so that uotis account wont
be closed AND who publically  offers to step down, i think this makes
you the one i trust most from the 3 members of the root team

or shorter, yes attila i trust you, the real problem is uotis stubbornness
he should just apply the damn patch from dominik then the spirit of the
vote has been fullfilled, noone lost his account and we all can be happy
again ... well until next time ;)
